Liam really got the 3rd story in quickly. Once I put in the joists, he was able to hammer in the cedar decking quite deftly as Crispin and I sawed and brought boards over. In this photo, I am on the ground, Crispin is about 8 feet above me, and you can peek at Liam 8 feet above Crispin. It was a windy day when we built this. As I was doing this, I felt a sense of Vertigo. I calmly talked myself through it, and then I realized that it wasn't vertigo, but that the trees were moving enough in the wind on that blustery day that the top level was moving much more than the middle level, creating an odd sense in a structure you sense to be solid. Good thing we were building out of flexible wood and not concrete. I appreciate also Liam's increasing comfort with challenges (not sure he would have wanted to go so high a year ago).
